Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt: ...and was trying to keep from inhaling more air than was absolutely necessary. "Why, yes," Elmer went on, "for once George here doesn't doubt but that he gets it. You don't hear him asking questions now. He knows it's here with us. He's getting his dose, all right, ain't you, George?"

I feels like I vas goin' to faint!" exclaimed a complaining voice. "For goodness' sake do it out there, then!" screamed Landy. "Don't you dare come into camp with that terrible smell hanging to you. Sit down where you are, and 91 listen to what we've got to say. Oh, gracious, I can't get my breath! Elmer, you tell him!" "Py chimineddy, dis makes me some drouples!

"How did it happen, Adam?" asked Elmer, trying to stop laughing, for he knew that after all this was apt to be a serious piece of business for the other. But the German boy only shook his head and coughed, as he tried to get his breath. "Idt iss some foolishness py me; but, poys, I don't know vot it iss already yet.

The more we learn about each other, the more we understand. The more we understand each other, the better we all get along.
